But does that practice actually align with the reasoning behind it? To start with, it\u2019s worth noting that different labs rationalize the practice differently. That&#8217;s a fairly reliable sign of folk wisdom, instead of a well-reasoned design decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although called \u201cloose\u201d foil covering, methods vary from lightly placed to tamped down tight.

Sterilizing flasks with foil might not be get (or keep) them sterile\u2014the exact opposite of the stated goal of the practice!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Likewise, the common habit of sterilizing vessels vertically seems to make good practical sense. But it fails in lab testing. Berriman\u2019s tests found that vertically positioned flasks and beakers were not always fully sterilized by the same standard autoclave cycle that effectively sterilized vessels that were autoclaved on their sides. This was especially true when it came to Erlenmeyer flasks, whose unique shape, combined with the foil cover, resulted in trapped air at the bottom that either called for a much longer cycle or resulted in an unsterilized vessel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>(Click here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/2018\/11\/29\/lab-autoclave-procedure-the-futility-of-foil\/\">for more thoughts on foil and good lab practice<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Does the Evidence Say to Do? Good Laboratory Practice Examples\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luckily, these problems are easily solved just by changing standard operating procedure in accordance with what the evidence shows. First, stop covering vessels with foil in the autoclave and during the cooling process. Next, when sterilizing empty vessels, lay them on their sides in the autoclave, rather than standing them vertically. There is no cost\u2014other, perhaps, than the psychological hurdle of altering ingrained habits\u2014to either of these changes. (In fact, using less foil might actually cost labs less.) Both are backed by science and significantly improve the efficacy of a standard sterilization cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2856\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2856\" class=\"wp-image-2856 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-300x200.png\" alt=\"good laboratory practice examples\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-64x43.png 64w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-128x85.png 128w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-240x160.png 240w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-320x213.png 320w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-375x250.png 375w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-480x320.png 480w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-540x360.png 540w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-640x426.png 640w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes-720x480.png 720w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/PNA-Foil-for-Potatoes.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2856\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Embrace good laboratory practice examples!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are we consistently showing our students and colleagues good laboratory practice examples?
